Gao Kang went to Zhang Xiao's side and said: "There are only dozens of households in this fishing village, if the strength is not enough, I will go to other fishing villages to recruit people." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

When Zhang Xiao heard the county Cheng say this, he hurriedly stopped his idea and said, "Enough, there are enough people." When the county heard Zhang Xiao say this, he pulled the patriarch of the fishing village and said, "This is the patriarch of the fishing village, if you have any orders, just follow him." ”

The patriarch had just returned from fishing by the river, and there was still this strong fishy smell on his body, and the autumn frost seemed to freeze his white flocculents, looking at Zhang Xiao and saying, "If we follow the will of the son, what should we do?" ”

Zhang Xiao recalled several steps of papermaking: rinsing of raw materials, cooking of lye, molarization, swinging into the curtain, curtain pressing, and fire drying. He glanced at the strength of the fishermen, and said to the patriarch: "Divide this strength into three teams, one team of Wei Jia will take it to collect the fishermen's discarded hemp, rags, and fishing nets, and then soak these things, chop them, wash them, and set up a few large cauldrons for steaming, and the patriarch will lead a team to collect the ashes of each family, and the remaining team will be led by me." ”

In order to motivate everyone's enthusiasm, Zhang Xiao said: "In order to show my sincerity, I will mint a coin here today, and you will get more after the deed." Wei Jia, send money to everyone. ”

Wei Jia took out a bag of Zhao coins made of round-footed cloth, the collision between the coins was loud, the fishermen looked at the bag of coins, everyone showed eager eyes, their group of fishermen live on water, and they are only barely surviving for a year, and now this is really a windfall.

Zhang Xiao signaled, Wei Jia began to distribute coins, and after a prime man got it, he went up and bit it to see if it was true. The composition of Zhao Guo's coinage is mainly copper, perhaps because of the excessive force, and a deep tooth mark appeared on the coin, which provoked the middle-aged people in the village to laugh and say: "Second baby, your money has been bitten by you." ”

The second child, who was ridiculed by the villagers, said with a smile: "This money is real!" ”

Seeing this, Zhang Xiao said to everyone: "Let's do what I just said, let's go!" After saying that, Wei Jia ran over and said, "Childe, your subordinates have to follow you." ”

Zhang Xiao said helplessly: "I led this team to cut bamboo, if you follow me, who should be responsible for collecting things?" ”

Wei Jia saw that he couldn't persuade him, but he still didn't give up and said: "But Son, you ......" Zhang Xiao comforted: "Don't worry, Lord Xiancheng is still following all the way." ”

After saying that, Wei Jia, Zhang Xiao, and the patriarch led a team to start acting according to what Zhang Xiao said just now. The second baby happened to be in Zhang Xiao's team, from the fishing beach to the bamboo forest behind, it took a few minutes to walk, and it seemed that Zhang Xiao was a distinguished guest along the way, and the second baby had been cutting through thorns and thorns in front, Zhang Xiao couldn't help but ask: "Second baby, what is your name!" ”

The second baby said honestly: "I am the second in line, so I am called the second baby." ”

Zhang Xiao heard a light smile, in the middle and late Spring and Autumn Period, the surnames have been substantially merged, and the era of blood and humility by surname is completely gone, and there are more and more phenomena of taking the country as the surname and the place of residence as the surname (Ximen, Dongguo), so after the middle and late Spring and Autumn Period, it is not uncommon for commoners to have surnames, but in this case like his, it is within the family, it is impossible to speak......

Zhang Xiao, a member of their team, specially reminded him to cut down the bamboo with tools, and after arriving at the place, Zhang Xiao asked the second baby to cut a thin bamboo, roughly compared it, and said to the second child: "You cut it here, cut it for me at such a distance." ”

After speaking, he said to the county: "Give me the fine hemp rope." The county Cheng looked at Zhang Xiao with a serious face, and hurriedly handed Zhang Xiao a thin hemp rope, Zhang Xiao looked at the thin bamboo that began to cut off the two children, and put together a frame the size of the current A4 paper, and began to fix it at the four corners, a simple frame was formed like this, Zhang Xiao picked it up and explained to everyone while looking at it: "Everyone is optimistic, just intercept and fix it according to the size of this frame, let's start." ”

Zhang Xiao's words fell, and everyone began to cut bamboo, and the county Cheng Gaokang looked at Zhang Xiao and asked, "What's the use of doing these things?" ”

Zhang Xiao now explained that he didn't understand either, so he said casually: "This is the framework for things to be made." Thinking that he had already explained how to make things here, he said to Erwazi: "Erwazi, you make these things here, just make a hundred and ten pairs, I'll go over there to see the patriarch, Wei Jia and them." ”

When Zhang Xiao returned to the fishing beach, more than a dozen cauldrons were placed, and there were hemp heads, rags and other items piled up in the pots, these items were soaked in Weijia, chopped, washed and then put in the pot for steaming......

Zhang Xiao looked at the boiling items in the pot, and instructed everyone: "You prepare some firewood, it is estimated that it will not work for a while." ”

The team led by the patriarch collected the ashes of the plants and trees of each family, and Zhang Xiao looked at the mountains of ashes and asked, "What about the patriarch?" ”

The fisherman was simple and said bluntly: "The patriarch is afraid of disappointing the son's trust, so he personally collects ...... from each household" Hearing this, Zhang Xiao said helplessly: "Go and tell your patriarch, it's enough, don't let him collect it!" ”

The boiling heat in the cauldron seemed like a fairyland for a while, Zhang Xiao asked Wei Jia to stir the plant ash and water well, and then pour the plant ash water into the boiling cauldron, and continue to steam with hemp heads, rags and other items......

The most important step in the process of papermaking is that the raw materials of papermaking are cooked by lye, so that the impurities such as lignin, cloth glue, and hemp fat in the raw materials are removed. Zhang Xiao originally couldn't think of how to find lye, but suddenly saw the smoke curling from the villagers' houses, so he used such a method.

The next step of papermaking is much simpler, take out the raw materials for cooking and rinse them in the pond, and then put them into a pot to soak in lime water and cook, so that the raw materials and fibers that are repeatedly steamed and rinsed will gradually decompose. Then the bamboo frame of the bamboo forest was pulped out, Zhang Xiao couldn't help but feel that victory was in front of him, everything was so perfect!

The grass and wood gray water was poured into the cauldron, at the beginning it was black in the water pot, and after steaming for a while, the black shape went down, Zhang Xiao watched the patriarch sit on the stone team at the fishing beach, Zhang Xiao took Wei Jia and walked over and said: "Patriarch, hard work!" ”

When the patriarch saw Zhang Xiao coming, he hurriedly jumped up and said, "What's the matter with the son looking for the old man?" Zhang Xiao hurriedly helped the patriarch: "There are still a lot of patriarchs to worry about at night, and the fire must not be extinguished......"
